Smartech supplies door for Forest Lodge Eco House, NSW

Smartech Door Systems were recently involved in a project for Grand Designs Australia. The project was based in Forest Lodge in Sydney.

Chris Knierim, owner and builder, wanted a door similar to one used in fire stations, that lifted up horizontally, for the extension of his house in Sydney's inner west. Unfortunately, most companies that fabricate such doors have a commercial focus and as such their products have exposed motors and rails, and are very bulky. Chris wanted something that was ascetically pleasing, and found Smartech Door Systems to supply the door.

Show presenter Peter Madison commented, "When you've got such a small space to deal with, raising the entire rear wall of the house to the ceiling is a smart way to deal with things".

Chris' wife, Belinda, was pleased with the result and felt that it turned out better than they expected.
